Dang, you're having problems with OFP with a 9700 Pro? Hmm, I have a 2.4ghz, 512 RDRAM, Radeon 9700 Pro, and I rarely have problems with framerates. I have 4x AA, 16x AF, max detail, normal terrain, 1200x1024, etc. Do you have your display device set for Direct3D T&L, not Direct3D? I remember I was getting horrible framerates until I enabled T&L.
